sam poo kong tempLe, gedong batu

In Semarang, there is a Sam Po Kong Temple which is known to locals as Gedong Batu Temple(Kelenteng Gedong Batu). According to one story, during one of the Admiral Zheng He’s expedition, one of his trusted lieutenants, Wang Jing Hong, was taken suddenly ill. As a result, the fleet stopped at Semarang and they found a cave and use it as temporary shelter. Later, people built a temple to commemorate Zheng He at that site and it was known as Gedong Batu or Kedong Batu meaning ‘piles of natural stones used for damming a river).
Sam Po Kong Temple, Jl. Simongan No. 129, ☎ +62 24 7605 277. The beautiful Sam Po Kong temple (Gedung Batu) was built to respect the Muslim Chinese commander named Cheng Ho of Ming Dinasty who visited Semarang in the early 15th century. It was extensively renovated in 2006 to celebrate the 600th anniversary of Cheng Ho's voyage to Semarang.
Within the temple, there is a tomb which is venerated as the tomb of the Kiai Juru Mudi Dampo Awang ( The Venerable Fleet Helmsman and Admiral). It was believed that the tomb belonged to Wang Jing Hong. According to one source, he stayed for a time in Semarang after he recovered from his illness and he subsequently played an important part in developing Semarang. Hence, after his death, his body was entombed in the temple and venerated (kramat).

The Simongan land was later bought over by Oei Tjie Sien in 1879 (5 th year of Guang Xu). Oei Tjie Sien was the father of the philanthropist, Oei Tiong Ham, who was known as the “Sugar King” of Indonesia. Since then, the community could worship in Gedong Batu without being charged a fee and the management of the temple complex was handed over to the local Sam Po Kong Foundation. The parade itself was revived in 1930 and continued to be a major attraction to this day.
